The cJUN NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway is activated by metabolic stress and plays a key role during the development of metabolic syndrome. JNK2 acts in the liver by suppressing the expression of the hepatokine fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). We show that the alternatively spliced JNK2α isoform mediates the effects of metabolic stress. Quantitative phosphoproteomics analysis and functional testing using genetic complementation analysis demonstrated that JNK2α-mediated phosphorylation of retinoid X receptor α (RXRα) inhibits FGF21 expression. These observations define a JNK/RXRα/FGF21 signaling axis that contributes to obesity-associated metabolic syndrome. The cJun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway in the liver promotes systemic changes in metabolism by regulating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα)-dependent expression of the hepatokine fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21). Hepatocyte-specific gene ablation studies demonstrated that the Mapk9 gene (encoding JNK2) plays a key mechanistic role. Mutually exclusive inclusion of exons 7a and 7b yields expression of the isoforms JNK2α and JNK2β. Here we demonstrate that Fgf21 gene expression and metabolic regulation are primarily regulated by the JNK2α isoform. To identify relevant substrates of JNK2α, we performed a quantitative phosphoproteomic study of livers isolated from control mice, mice with JNK deficiency in hepatocytes, and mice that express only JNK2α or JNK2β in hepatocytes. We identified the JNK substrate retinoid X receptor α (RXRα) as a protein that exhibited JNK2α-promoted phosphorylation in vivo. RXRα functions as a heterodimeric partner of PPARα and may therefore mediate the effects of JNK2α signaling on Fgf21 expression. To test this hypothesis, we established mice with hepatocyte-specific expression of wild-type or mutated RXRα proteins. We found that the RXRα phosphorylation site Ser260 was required for suppression of Fgf21 gene expression. Collectively, these data establish a JNK-mediated signaling pathway that regulates hepatic Fgf21 expression.
